Tragic story, I’m still hurt, not because I didn’t find my own ways to build my feed reader (and have been using consistently ever since) but this story encapsulate the blindness of big tech better than anything else.
And 2 decades later, guess how I’m consuming the most out of Reddit and now Kbin/Lemmy and the fediverse? An RSS feed reader, that’s right!
Add to it a dash of webmentions and social reactions, without owning the social graph and you have probably the direction at which the open web is heading to, right now.
And this time, neither, Google, Facebook or Reddit or Twitter will be part of it, because they are blind but above all because people want something else.
And they want to define and own it.

Il y a 3 ans… 8 mois de procès #okcinfo, 8 mois a écouter des avocats déblatérer des “arguments” inouïs, vide de fond, des mensonges, des fabrications de pièces déposées pour servir la cause d’un pédocriminel.

I read this some 20 years ago : Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein 📚 and I find it fascinating how much I missed parts of it, I also noticed how it influenced me, how I took upon myself to learn and “grok” to discover the world, well, part of it at least :)
